Hydrologic Nature of Streamflow on Small Watersheds
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 127, Issue 1
Abstract
The importance of watershed area in depth-area-duration-frequency relationships on stream flow from small watersheds was investigated. Size of area was found to be an index of geologic and geomorphologic properties of the watersheds. Area index was related to annual stream flow and also to flows of as short as 2- or 8-day duration. A reconnaissance survey of base flow and a preliminary geologic investigation in one of the watersheds helped clarify the interrelationships between the geologic and hydrologic aspects of the study.
